about

Pills and Medicine is a short reflection on my life. The things we took for recreation when I was younger, and the way they keep you going when you are older.

lyrics

(ch) Pills and medicine / give me everything I need
Pills and medicine / keep me up to speed

I’m a wheeler dealer / I’m a / hoochie koochie man
When your day has ended/ that’s just when / mine began
Because…(ch)

My friends all know me / I’m their / Candy Man
I got the music / and the / angel’s got my hand
That…(ch)

My wife she told me / I was / just a lazy dog
She told me that I’ / gotta / get myself a job
I said…(ch)

I got a job / but I / worked too slow
Foreman told me / that I / had to go,
I said…(ch)

I’ve done the crime boys and I’ll do the time
You can have the /nine to five boys because / I’m doing fine
because…(ch)

You can / keep your whiskey you can / keep your wine
I need some sugar with my turpentine
Because…(ch)
